Not a sample. It only inspired it.

@tick: Only if it was on a different single, it would be nice to know. I don't think it is necessary to add any single as an album if it is not included on any album.

tick said on Tuesday, 06 July 2010:
doesn't the track name then become the album title?

Drpepperfan said on Tuesday, 06 July 2010:
Lady Madonna was only released as a single when it came out, which I assume is also the case with the other song as well.

tick said on Tuesday, 06 July 2010:
and how come there is no album name for either track?

tick said on Tuesday, 06 July 2010:
except of course, according to wiki, they weren't both produced by GM - "The official producer of the record was Denis Preston, who employed Meek as engineer. George Martin was head A&R man of Parlophone at that time, but was not involved in the actual recording."

'out of controoool'

walter said on Monday, 05 July 2010:
Both tracks were produced by George Martin. The original was a direct influence, Paul admitted that in later years, to pay hommage to the Fats Domino sound. I agree this is not a sample, but I couldn' resist adding it here :-) The admins may take it away, if it's out of order.

spy in the cab said on Monday, 05 July 2010:
Sure.
But the sound is the same (piano, high hat), the tempo is the same, and the beginning riff is near.
That's why sometimes it would be more interesting to put "inspired" instead of "sampled".
I think it works in this case, and many other.




tick said on Monday, 05 July 2010:
yeah this is an iffy one.
It certainly isn't a replayed sample, and I question whether it is an interpolation.
The Rhythm is borrowed far more than the melody/hook itself.

spy in the cab said on Monday, 05 July 2010:
he certainly heard the record (it's on the same label), and copied a bit of the beginning and the sound of it.
i would say that's not a sample though it's interesting to know the link

jOsSse said on Sunday, 04 July 2010:
yeah... and its barely similar, or not. i think Paul made a big twist and a unique sound

spy in the cab said on Sunday, 04 July 2010:
inspired by, not a real sample
